Welding the toilets!

An unusual statement but never the less interesting and it has happened as these photos show.

The toilet block is a metal container which has suffered over the years from the dreaded tin worm. Although it is the desire to replace it with a proper purpose built structure when the funding is available we have to make do and mend at the moment. King of the welders, Rob, has his skills stretched in trying to weld repair panels to more rust and fresh air. However as an expert welder he is succeeding!

Meanwhile in the cafe the artistic flair of Jane has seen the front of the counter brightened up with her collage which is now finished. We open two weeks on Sunday so she is also having a clear out of cafe clutter to make the place even more welcoming. Probably means I won't be allowed in!

Back at WMD HQ I have constructed the tool rack for the Airfix Dodge 1 1/2 Ton Personnel Carrier.

It is not very big but there was a lot of flash on the mouldings to clean off but at least it is reasy for paint. Luckily I don't have to weld this in place on the model.
